Jesus revolutionized how we understand Scripture by moving beyond simple rule-following to heart transformation. In the Sermon on the Mount, he showed that God isn't interested in behavior management but in addressing the root issues of our hearts. Rather than offering black and white answers like don't murder or don't commit adultery, Jesus provided solutions that deal with anger and lust at their source. This approach requires love, humility, and dependence on God rather than self-righteous rule-keeping. True righteousness comes from internal change, not external compliance.
